Evaluation of Molecular Hydrogen Supplementation to Enhance the Efficacy of Weight Loss Retreat in Overweight and Obese Adolescents
Czechia60 participantsStarted 2025-05-12
Plain-language summary
This randomized controlled trial evaluates whether molecular hydrogen supplementation enhances the effectiveness of a 4-week weight loss retreat in overweight and obese adolescents. Outcome measures include: body composition, physical status, blood samples (insulin sensitivity, lipid profiles, markers of oxidative stress and inflammation) and autonomic nervous system function.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is testing molecular hydrogen supplementation on top of a weight loss retreat program for adolescents — can you help me understand what molecular hydrogen supplementation actually involves and whether there's enough safety data on it for teenagers?
2Since this study is 'active but not recruiting,' it sounds like enrollment is already closed — are there any similar trials or structured weight loss programs with added nutritional or supplement components that my child might still be eligible for?
3The trial is measuring things like insulin sensitivity, oxidative stress, and autonomic nervous system activity alongside BMI and fitness — does my child currently have any of these concerns that would make this kind of combined intervention particularly relevant for them?
4Since this is labeled Phase NA, meaning it's more of a preliminary or exploratory study, how confident can we be in any results it produces, and would those results be strong enough to guide my child's treatment decisions?
5Before considering an experimental supplement like molecular hydrogen, would standard supervised weight management programs or lifestyle interventions be a more proven first step for my child's situation?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
